点评:I’ve never experienced such hostile, invasive, and discriminatory treatment at any venue in my life. My friends and I purchased tickets to see Loud Luxury, but we left after less than 30 minutes, several of us in tears, because of how horribly we were treated by security.
Three of us were subjected to incredibly aggressive searches. Security opened individually wrapped candy, chewed gum in wrappers, went through every individual tissue in an unopened pack, and searched every compartment of my bag. Meanwhile, another friend received only a quick glance inside her bag and was waved through.
The worst part was how they handled our prescription medications. Security demanded to know my medical diagnosis and insisted on seeing a physical, printed prescription. I offered to show them my prescription through MyChart, but they refused to accept it. When I offered to simply leave rather than surrender my medication, THEY REFUSED TO LET ME TAKE MY MEDICATION AND THREW IT AWAY.
I was visiting from out of state, and this left me without access to my prescribed medication for the remainder of my trip. I had to endure worsening symptoms of my medical condition without the medication I rely on to manage them.
Two of my friends also had issues with their medications, but the rules were applied completely differently to each of us. One was allowed to keep hers after showing MyChart. Another had to leave hers with security and was forced to wear a hospital-style medical bracelet, which is obviously stigmatizing and humiliating.
Then, as we were leaving, we watched security find pills in some dude’s bag. He didn’t have a prescription, but security told him that even a text message saying the pills belonged to him would be sufficient, and they let him enter with them. Apparently, an informal text message was acceptable for him, but my actual medical records weren’t good enough.
This wasn’t one rude employee. Multiple security staff treated us with hostility and intimidation.
I have serious concerns about possible disability discrimination and the legality of confiscating and destroying someone’s medically necessary prescription medication.
We paid money to attend this event and instead left feeling humiliated, frightened, and violated.
I would strongly caution anyone against attending Encore. No show is worth having your health, safety, and dignity treated with such disregard.
翻译:我这辈子从未在任何场所遭受过如此恶劣、冒犯且具有歧视性的对待。我和朋友们买了门票去观看Loud Luxury的演出,但由于安保人员对我们的对待方式实在恶劣至极,我们不到30分钟就离开了,好几个人都哭了出来。
我们三人遭到了极其粗暴的搜查。安保人员拆开了独立包装的糖果,嚼着带包装的口香糖,还翻遍了一整包未拆封的纸巾。我仔细检查了包里的每一个隔层。与此同时,另一位朋友只是让安检人员快速看了一眼她的包,便被放行了。
最糟糕的是他们处理我们处方药的方式。安检人员非要知道我的病症,还坚持要查看纸质版处方。我提出可以通过MyChart应用程序给他们展示电子处方,但他们拒绝接受。当我表示宁愿放弃安检也不愿交出药品时……他们拒绝让我服用处方药,还把药扔掉了。
我当时是从外州前来探亲,这一下子导致我在整个行程中都无法拿到医生开的药。没有这些药来控制病情,我的症状也愈发严重了。
我的两个朋友也遇到了类似的问题,但针对我们三个人,规则的执行方式却截然不同。其中一位朋友出示了MyChart上的记录后,才被允许保留她的药。还有一个人不得不把自己的物品交给安保人员保管,还被迫戴上类似医院用的医疗手环,这显然会给人带来污名感和羞辱感。
后来,在我们离开时,我们看到安保人员在一个男子的包里发现了药片。他没有处方,但安保人员告诉他,哪怕只是发一条短信说明那些药片是他的也行,最终便允许他带着药进入。显然,对他来说,这样一条非正式的短信就足够了。不过,我的医疗记录并不够充分。
并不是只有一个态度恶劣的工作人员,有多名安保人员都以敌意和恐吓的态度对待我们。
我非常担心这里可能存在残疾歧视行为,也担心没收并销毁一个人必需的处方药物这种行为是否合法。
我们花钱才得以参加这场活动,结果却带着屈辱、恐惧与被侵犯的感觉离开了。
我强烈劝告任何人都不要去参加Encore活动。没有任何演出值得让你的健康、安全与尊严遭到如此漠视。
